| Ruling Text: The horse (Chasing The Storm) trained and driven by you, that raced in the 10th race on 11/25/18, was disqualified from his third place finish and placed sixth. The disqualification and placing was imposed as a result due of interference to #4 (Blessingindisguise) before the 3/4 pole. The winnings from that third place finish are forfeited and redistributed to other horses in the race that were eligible to receive it. THE SUSPENSION IS FOR A DRIVING SUSPENSION ONLY. Having appealed, a stay of your license suspension or revocation is hereby granted; however, Commission counsel may make a motion for your stay to be terminated in the event that your appeal hearing is not completed within 90 days of this ruling. If your stay is terminated because of your unreasonable delay in the completion of your hearing, then your license suspension or revocation would begin and run until your appeal hearing is completed. You are also hereby granted a stay for all time after your appeal hearing is completed and until the Commission issues its final decision on your appeal. On December 6, 2018 you withdrew your request for a hearing and your eight day driving suspension will begin on December 14, 2018. |
